A few days ago I modified my avic avic enclosure to try and encourage webbing away from the roof. She had not webbed at all in my care previously. Yesterday I saw my modifications worked and she started webbing pretty much exactly where I had hoped. Also learned that my OBT sling stealth...

T. Vagans for the the first time in my care, and caught in the act!

Gotcha, thanks. They seem to be acting normally. Will keep an eye on them.

Do you know if digestion issues are common with them? We picked them up at an exotics show and they look healthy enough. We got them home and put them in their new enclosure and fed them(veggies, bananas, a nutrient powder) and they went crazy eating. So i guess that would make sense...

My wife keeps cockroaches, started with Halloween hissers and picked up a starter colony of regular Madagascar hissers yesterday. A couple of the females have pushed out little Orange things. Our assumption is that these are aborted oothaca but the coloration threw us a bit as we thought the...

After my g. Pulchripes died a friend of mine took an old molt I had given her, stuffed it and mounted it and surprised me with it.

gotcha. That’s mostly what I was thinking of. Total cost when shipping is included etc. the show isn’t far from me so transportation is negligible. I figured on prices similar to online dealers just minus shipping.

So for those of you that have been to shows and cons, prices are generally nice?

Going to my first exotics show in a couple weeks here in Indiana. I have always had my spiders shipped but that is largely due to not really checking in to shows in the area. Theoretically I like the idea of seeing exactly what I'm getting, shopping around for best prices in the same place, and...

Listen to what everyone is saying. Enclosure is not ideal at all. It’s easy to fix but until you do you are going to have a stressed, unhappy spider. If you have questions about what is needed don’t be afraid to ask and search on here. We all start somewhere.

Nope, perfectly normal. It will probably also fill it with substrate, put boluses in it and other industries activities.

I also live in Fort Wayne and have never heard of any indiana laws concerning Ts. And i definitely second the G. pulchripes suggestion!

Substrate is dry aside from a little damp near the bowl. I do need to replace the lid for sure as I don't want an injury. She isn't normally prone to climbing at all but still the acrylic is much better. She has calmed down a lot. Was hanging out on the ground like normal this morning.

No actual hide. I provided one in the last enclosure and she didn't really use it. Instead she liked to make a little depression behind the plant and nestle down. Not really a proper burrow but it gave her cover. She isn't shy at all. I think part of it is likely the temp difference...

I wish my name was Danger Legs. Good looking additions!

Thanks man. I'm probably just over worrying. She had a cork bark in her last enclosure but it was a bit unsavory when I went to transfer it so I'll probably pick up a new one this weekend. Most likely, based on past behavior, she will make a little hide down behind the plant. That's been her...

Yeah I knew it was a normal behavior, every one of mine have done it. Just didn't know if there was something more I could be doing to prevent it. I don't want Nova taking a spill! But it's mostly my fault this time as far as the danger goes, I underestimated how much substrate I would need.

So I rehoused my G.pulchripes into a 5 gallon aquarium tonight. It's size appropriate. My question is about fall risk. I emptied a bag of coconut husk bedding into it to reduce the distance between the top and the floor but it is still a little taller than I would really like and my girl is...

She doesn't scare me but honestly I'm most cautious with my rosey. Definitely one of the psychos. Bi-polar. Sometimes chill but most of the time bites at the water stream when I refill the dish, lunges at tongs etc. Doesn't matter how much she has eaten. She's just territorial I think...
